About King’s Day
King’s Day history
King’s Day will be celebrated for the 10th time in 2023, but this day has been around for much longer. In 1902, the first Queensday was celebrated in honor of Queen Wilhelmina. With Queens Juliana and Beatrix, the day grew out to be a National holiday in the Netherlands. With the accession of King Willem-Alexander, the name changed to King’s Day, but the idea behind it remained the same.
